Metrics and Energy Landscapes in Irreversible Thermodynamics

Entropy, 2015
We describe how several metrics are possible in thermodynamic state space but that only one, Weinhold’s, has achieved widespread use. Lengths calculated based on this metric have been used to bound dissipation in finite-time (irreversible) processes be ...

Early Impact of Childhood Opportunity on Neurocognitive Outcomes in Sickle Cell Disease

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Neurocognitive impairment is a well‐recognized complication of sickle cell disease (SCD) that begins early in childhood and persists across development. While cerebrovascular injury contributes substantially to risk, neurocognitive deficits are also observed in children without overt or silent cerebral infarctions, suggesting ...

On the Szegő Metric

Journal of Geometric Analysis, 2012
We introduce a new biholomorphically invariant metric based on Fefferman's invariant Szego kernel and investigate the relation of the new metric to the Bergman and Carathéodory metrics. A key tool is a new absolutely invariant function assembled from the Szego and Bergman kernels.

Incidence and Severity of Carboplatin‐Associated Hearing Loss in Children With Cancer Assessed by the SIOP Boston 2012 Ototoxicity Criteria

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Platinum‐based chemotherapy is known to cause severe and debilitating hearing loss, but unlike cisplatin, the true incidence of carboplatin‐induced hearing loss remains unclear. We evaluated functional hearing outcomes in children receiving carboplatin to determine the incidence and severity of ototoxicity. Procedure We identified a
